This is my beautiful mom Gayla. She is the strongest person I know. She has dealt with many medical issues her entire life. She is a survivor of cervical and Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer. Currently, she is battling Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.
After beating Hodgkins Lymphoma the first time there was a reoccurrence several years later. Once again she persevered and went through another course of treatment and was cancer free.
Unfortunately, earlier this year we learned that the cancer had returned yet again. However, this time it mutated into Non Hodgkins Lymphoma which is more aggressive.
She has undergone another round of chemotherapy. Her team of doctors have recommended she undergo a Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) transplant. This will give her the best chance of staying in remission.
My Dad has taken an unpaid leave of absence from his employer to provide support during this process. Since my mom is not able to work they will be losing their only source of income. My parents truly appreciate any support friends and family can provide.
